The following guns were used in the movie War of the Worlds
Smith & Wesson Model 36
Before leaving his house with his family, Ray Ferrier (Tom Cruise) grabs an Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolver from a case under his bed. He is later seen firing it into the air to disperse a mob swarming his commandeered minivan, but is forced to drop this gun when a carjacker steals the van. A bystander then picks up the pistol and shoots the carjacker with it, trying to steal the van himself.
Sig Sauer P228
During the film, a carjacker armed with a Sig Sauer P228 steals the car Ray and his family are using by aiming his gun at Ray's head and forcing him to drop his .38 Special.
-Thats a P226, you can tell because it has a squared off trigger guard instead of the rounded trigger guard.
M4A1 Carbine
In the several scenes, U.S. Army soldiers can be seen carrying M4A1 carbines, most notably while directing refugees through Boston near the end of the film. When an alien dies after its' tripod is disabled, one of the soldiers uses the barrel of his M4A1 to lift and then drop the aliens' arm to confirm it is truly dead. The M4A1's in the film are seen fitted with various accessories such as RIS foregrips, M68 Aimpoint red dot sight, ACOG TA01NSN scopes, C-More red dot sights, and AN/PEQ-2 laser systems.
Mk 19 grenade launcher
In the scene where Robbie Ferrier (Justin Chatwin) is trying to hitch a ride with a passing Army convoy, one of the passing Humvees can be seen mounting a Mk 19 grenade launcher.
M16A2
U.S. military personnel appear carrying M16A2 rifles several times during the film; first in the Army convoy that passes by the Ferrier family, then in the hands of Marines in the hilltop battle scene.
M2 Browning
The Browning M2 heavy machine gun appears twice in the film; first mounted on U.S. Army vehicles in a convoy that passes by the Ferriers, then on U.S. Marine Corps vehicles in the hilltop battle scene, most notably on a burning humvee rolling past Harlan Ogilvy (Tim Robbins)' house.
M67 hand grenade
In the scene where Rachel Ferrier (Dakota Fanning) is captured by one of the tripods, Ray Ferrier finds a bandoleer of M67 hand grenades in an abandoned Humvee and throws one at the tripod to get its' attention. Once captured by the tripod, he uses the rest of the grenades to destroy it from the inside out.
M249 SAW
Near the end of the film, at least one of the U.S. Army soldiers seen herding refugees through Boston and then taking down a tripod can be seen wielding an M249 Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), most notably when surrounding the downed tripod when the pilot emerges and dies.
M240 Machine Gun
In the scene where Ray and Robbie are arguing as the Army convoy passes, several M240 machine guns can be seen, both mounted on the vehicles and in the hands of some of the soldiers riding in them.
BGM-71 TOW
When the Army convoy is passing by the Ferriers, several Humvees can be seen with BGM-71 TOW launchers mounted on them. A few TOW launchers can also be seen on Marine Corps Humvees during the hilltop battle scene.
M136 AT4
During the hilltop battle scene, an M136 AT4 anti-tank rocket launcher fitted with a night-vision scope can be seen being fired by a U.S. Marine at an off-screen tripod.
Could this be the MK153 SMAAW instead? Considering the stance the user is in (it looks like he is holding a foregrip) this might be the MAAW the Marines use.
Carl Gustav
In the final battle scene, U.S. Army soldiers can be seen firing several Carl Gustav recoilless rifles at the tripod (even though this weapon is only used by special forces units in the U.S. military, not regular infantry as shown in the film).
M203 Grenade Launcher
Near the end of the film, several U.S. Army soldiers in Boston can be seen with M203 grenade launchers mounted on their M4A1's.
FGM-148 Javelin
Another weapon used in the final battle scene of the movie is the FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank guided missile launcher, used by U.S. Army soldiers to bring down a tripod after Ray Ferrier observes that the shields on top of the tripod are disabled, thus making it vulnerable to the top-attack Javelin missile.
Winchester Model 1912
The character Harlan Ogilvy (Tim Robbins) can often be seen with a Winchester Model 1912 shotgun close by him, first seen holding it in the air following the hilltop battle scene to signal Ray and Rachel to him. He comes close to using it when some of the aliens are prowling around the basement of his house where he, Rachel, and Ray are hiding, but is stopped by Ray for fear that opening fire would reveal their location to the aliens.
At one point in the movie you can briefly see him with an unknown M1911 variant in a holster.
